After being in beta on a limited basis for most of the past year, Bethesda Softworks has announced that the beta for BattleCry is set to go global. The bloody, free-to-play brawler has been in development since 2012, and was originally revealed during E3 2014.
To coincide with the announcement, a new trailer for the title was debuted during Bethesda’s inaugural E3 press conference. Showcasing a handful of bloody action, the trailer re-introduces gamers to the five previously unveiled character classes. As it stands, the classes will consist of: Brawler, Enforcer, Infiltrator, Ranger and Gadgeteer.
Besides the character class refresher, the trailer also debuted a new team for BattleCry. With a look befitting the 20th century setting of the title, the Han Republic is a squad of Asian warriors. While a little stereotypical, the monk and samurai flavored designs are at least quite nice to look at.
While it may lack the show-stopping quality of Fallout 4 or DOOM, BattleCry looks like an intriguing addition to the free-to-play world. It’s chaotic, and bloody gameplay could be a blast, and Bethesda has been on a roll lately, so it’s hard to doubt their ability. With the beta now going global, we should have a better understanding of just how things work in the game very soon.
